💅 intel_vgpu_select_submission_ops(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual</bold> — section 9, the fun one 🎀 this whole page is about one little function whose full name is intel_vgpu_select_submission_ops, and it lives in the kernel's <purple>Kernel API Manual</purple> vibes. yes, the header's long, no we're not retyping it, we already said it. moving on ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

intel_vgpu_select_submission_ops — select virtual submission interface 🦋 that's literally the whole job, that's the assignment, and she ate 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int intel_vgpu_select_submission_ops (struct intel_vgpu *vgpu ,
intel_engine_mask_t engine_mask , unsigned int interface );

look at her go 😭 three params, one int coming back. iconic.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vgpu — a vGPU 🫶 that's it, that's the description. she's a pointer to struct intel_vgpu, and no, the manpage is not gonna elaborate, and honestly? respect.
• engine_mask — either ALL_ENGINES or a target engine mask 👑 so like, all the engines or a specific chosen few — your pick, bestie.
• interface — the expected vGPU virtual submission interface 💖 an unsigned int holding whichever interface you're trying to switch her into.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works: this function gets called when the guest configures the submission interface ✨ that's the whole plot. guest reconfigures → kernel hits this → submission interface selection happens. no cap, that's the entire description and we're not gonna invent lore that isn't there 🙈

---

💜 RETURN 💜

• zero (0) on success 🎉 slay
• a negative error code if it failed 😭 ngl, if you see negatives, something did not go great

💀 tiny reminder before you go: every single one of those references is spelled exactly the way the page spells it, so if you're grepping, copy them character for character. don't be out here typing intel_vgpu_clean_submissions with an extra s, the manpage did not say that 🙈

and that's the page!! 🍓 this gem came to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt, dated October 2026 — so like, mark your calendars bestie, the docs said October 2026 and we respect the timestamp 💖✨🧚‍♀️
